FWIW, I found The Thing prequel to be a disappointment. Too much gore and SFX, not enough plot or suspense. The 1982 version was better even without CGI.

I am Death. Death the Avenger, purger of sins. Death the Merciful, purifier of souls. Those who considered me gone, think again, Those who laughed and mocked me, be afraid. I am returned, and this time Judgement will not be denied, for my name is Death, and I have come to Judge you.

Why bother with plot or suspense (that is, decent writing), when you can toss a bit of cash and CGI at a problem?
Evidently most of the competent writers in Hollywood have been rounded up and shot. |

I haven't seen it yet because it bugs me on several levels.
Is it a prequel or a remake? If it's a remake, fine, although one wasn't needed. If it's a prequel, then why did you give it THE EXACT SAME TITLE? Argh. |

Tom, it is a prequel, not a remake. It takes place a few days before the 82 movie and ends with the "dog" running away with the loki helicopter in pursuit, taking it right up to the beginning of the 82 movie.

Actually, I'm aware of that...but that's the reaction of people I know. Like I said, it bugs me. If it's a prequel why give it the same title?

Well, it's mostly called The thing 2011 from what I see. Given the poor quality of uit I think it'll quickly be forgotten.
